As the new book review editor, I&#39;m pushing for this too. It&#39;s especially helpful for authors who are on the job market, since they can easily send the link to a prospective employer and, voila, a writing sample appears! I agree, Matt, Philosopher&#39;s Imprint has some high quality articles. Philosophical Frontiers is also a good on-line journal, but they recently changed their format from open-access to pay-to-access each journal article...not sure why, since I can&#39;t imagine anyone paying what they charge for an article (and I say this with some humility, since they published one of my papers). Sometimes I think the resistance to open-access is a generational thing...personally, I&#39;d rather save my office/shelf space for more important things than rows and rows of journals.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043255471332273852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34137300.post-33741802362142361022010-05-03T16:26:11.901-07:002010-05-03T16:26:11.901-07:00That would be unfortunate!
There is one really ...That would be unfortunate! <br /><br />There is one really excellent, open access, web only philosophy journal, <a href="http://www.philosophersimprint.org/" rel="nofollow">Philosopher&#39;s Imprint</a>. It doesn&#39;t have a high volume and publishes articles individually and irregularly, but the essays tend to be very good, so far as I&#39;ve seen, and it has a pretty good reputation.Matthew J.

So you&#39;ll have wacky experimental web journals on the one hand (put scare quotes around &quot;wacky experimental&quot;) and then journals with commercial publishing houses.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577537190602328510noreply@blogger.com
